After Marriage
CHAPTER 36

Slowly, Aslan came in and sat down next to the bed. He stared at the face of the wife who was partially bruised.

"Ran," he called out softly, hoping that his call would be validated.

But alas, the expectations are too great to be so hard to reach.

It was already 10pm, but Aslan was not sleepy in the slightest. His eyes kept awake, waiting for at least a little movement from the wife.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

While outdoors, Fahmi asks Tika to go home. Raka and Rian must be waiting for the return of the mother.

"Go home, I'll stay here with Aslan" Fahmi said as Tika refused to go home, saying she would ask Bude Nur to look after the children.

"Because there is Aslan I do not want to go home," replied Tika with a voice that almost ran out, from then on she continued to cry.

Fahmi smiled a little, then brought his wife into his arms.

"Calm down, I won't argue with him anymore."

"Promise?" tika asked quickly and Fahmi nodded while answering YES.

"Aslan must be more grieving than us, imagine if Kiran was me, how would Mas feel? that's how Aslan feels now."

"Dear, yeah, I'm sorry?" persuade Fahmi, lucky he has a wife like Tika who can always reduce his anger. Even Tika really loves Kiran like a real sister.

After agreeing, Tika finally went home alone to bring her husband's car. Fahmi stayed there, waiting outside.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

At 12 p.m., Aslan's phone in his pants pocket kept vibrating. He was not aware of the vibration because it was too busy looking at the face of the wife.

Until the moment the phone stopped vibrating, Aslan's aim was back.

Slowly, he took his cell phone and slightly moved away from his wife. He doesn't want to bother Kiran for a bit.

He saw several missed calls from his first wife, Maya.

Not only calls, but there are also some incoming messages there.

Mother: mother: Maya:

Mom, why haven't you come home yet?

Mother: mother: Maya:

Mas, I'm waiting for you. Isn't Kiran's mom not welcome yet? I'd better go home first. After all, tomorrow we have to go to Surabaya, right?

Mother: mother: Maya:

Mas's?

Of all the messages, only 1 thing entered his brain that is gamang, about his departure to Surabaya. As the head of the branch he was obliged to attend this event.

Oh my God, how is this? Aslan's mind was confused mixed with anxiety at once, it felt powerless to leave Kiran at a time like this.

With a nervous mind that finally unconsciously Aslan ignored Maya's message, he chose to go out to meet the brother-in-law.

When he opened the door, he saw Fahmi who was still awake, sitting in the waiting chair alone.

"Mas" said Aslan as he sat there.

Fahmi just looked over without a word.

"I'm sorry, but tomorrow I have to go. Please take care of Kiran" Aslan said, starting the conversation.

"Yes, go, don't feel bad like that. I will look after my sister without you asking," Fahmi replied according to her head.

Knowing that Maya, Yuli and Iwan do not accept Kiran makes Fahmi want to take on that responsibility again. It felt like only nearby was Kiran safe.

"I went 2 days Mas, to Surabaya, if I could I would have gone home sooner,"

"Hem," replied Fahmi briefly.

The two went back to silence, actually Fahmi knew how busy Aslan was at work. But for some reason, after being disappointed in Maya, now he felt he did not fully believe in Aslan.

He wanted to argue if his mouth was open, which is why he chose silence. Choose to answer all Aslan's words briefly.

Sit back in the bedside chair.

"Ran, you don't want to wake up, baby?" aslan asked as if Kiran could hear and answer.

He held the hand of the weakly drooping wife, a hand that felt so warm.

"Ran, I'm leaving tomorrow? when you wake up and you don't see me here don't think of anything ..."

"Don't think I don't care about you, let alone think I don't love you anymore ..."

"If you think like that, I'll punish you."

Aslan kissed the wife's hand fondly, then the other hand stroked Kiran's face gently.

"Enak yeah so you? a bruised face like this still looks beautiful" said Aslan trying to smile.

"Why not tell me that there's a child here?" asked Aslan while gently holding Kiran's stomach.

"I'll punish you about that later," he explained, wiping away tears that had come out since when.

"Ran ..." call her with all the love, but keep Kiran in the mood.

Time continued to go on like that, Kiran who was just craved and Aslan always spoke.

Until the dawn of Adhan reverberated, Aslan was still awake.

"Darling, I'll go first, I'll try to get home soon. When I get back, I want you to wait for me" Aslan said.

He got up and kissed his wife's forehead long enough, as if giving all his longing and love at once.

After that Aslan actually left, went home for a moment to pick up some files and left for Surabaya.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

In the main house.

Aslan entered in a hurry, he found no one in the house, finally he just continued to walk into the workspace.

All he had in mind now was to leave soon and be able to return soon.

Chequek! The door to Aslan's workspace opened.

Aslan who was busy arranging the files immediately turned his head. I saw Maya coming.

Astagfirulahalazim says. Aslan's inner self, busy with Kiran made him forget the first wife.

"May," said Aslan, his hand stopped moving and he noticed Maya walking closer.

Maya stands across the table.

"Mas, why didn't you call me last night, I thought Mas was coming home. I waited all night," Maya explained softly, her face softly hinting at disappointment.

Seeing that Aslan felt guilty, especially when he saw Maya who continued to wipe her stomach that had been slightly bloated.

"Sorry baby, I was wrong. Last night I was so worried about Kiran that I forgot about you." Aslan was honest and Maya said.

Is that how important Kiran is? inner Maya.

"I have to leave immediately, I'll leave Kiran to you? if he realizes later and I haven't come back, tell him I'm going to Surabaya. I'll be home soon" explained Aslan as he approached and stood before his wife.

He then lowered his head and kissed Maya's stomach.

"Dad go first, son," she said as she stroked dear.

Maya smiled, this kind of warmth she wanted. Without sharing it with anyone.

"Not slept last night?" asked Maya when she saw the face of the husband who was so tired.

"Sleep, I take turns with Fahmi's mas," Aslan replied lyingly and Maya simply nodded.

After that Aslan left, leaving Maya who was still standing in her study.

"I'm sorry, I asked you to marry Kiran. And now I will make you part with her" Maya murmured softly, after seeing her husband come out and close the door.

"This is all for the sake of our family to be back intact" he said again while stroking his stomach repeatedly.
